Thanks for your response. The servlet will simply launch a Timer Task that will periodically obtain a list of files under /foo/bar, examine their timestamps and delete the file if its shelflife has expired. There is no requirement to expose anything...

For example: If you want the contents of the directory /foo/bar to be accessible via, say http://<your Tomcat>/mybardir you simply have to create a <Context> definition with the "docBase"-attribute set appropriately.
